I have watched "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" again just to sneak a peek at Robert Pattinson in his pre-Twilight days. Still love you, Harry. And you have clearly earned a special place on everyone's bookshelf. This set, the full 7 volumes, also happens to be a mighty fine reproduction of Harry's traveling trunk. Gift-able and collectible.

All the books in this series have titles that involve time, such as "Civil War on Sunday," "Revolutionary War on Wednesday," "Tigers at Twilight" and "Earthquake in the Early Morning." Clever.

Nobody believes me that this book existed either, but here I have proof. Skellig is about a creepy old man that a boy discovers living in his attic, covered in cobwebs, but who turns out to have angel wings. Wings! So cool!

I finally get it now. They were introducing us to the concept of conformity and rebellion, possibly even anarchy. Wow.

They were introducing us to the concept of conformity and rebellion, possibly even anarchy. Wow. This is like what you read when you're too young to read Animal Farm, and Animal Farm is what you read when you're too young to read 1984. They should really just start us off with "Anarchy for Dummies."

I really still despise the fact that I was forced to read it for class, and being a good student, I obliged. They should really take into account students who may have a very serious earthworm phobia. Have some sensitivity, people.

His characters are so bizzare, and the stories normal yet disturbing. A family with children named Faith, Hope, Charity, and Adolph...a young boy with a penchant for writing about his activities with random men in public restrooms...David Sedaris is perverse, funny, and heartwarming all at once.

It takes place in Minerva Minnesota and tells the story of a mother and daughter, a mother and daughter, and mother and daughter: Barbara and Penny, Cora and Phoebe, and to a lesser but no less tragic degree, Hazel and Irene....
The part that saddens me is the way the town looks down on Barbara and Cora is pretty much the same as it would be now, only people may be less vocal about it. Progress, where art thou?
I'm sure someone could give this a more political literary analysis. I chose to take it as it is, not looking for hidden meanings or inferences. It's beautiful and a little haunting. I enjoyed it.

A mathematical mystery that crosses many centuries—from the ancients to turn of the century Paris to present day Europe. If you like math or find it's history intriguing this book has it all. If you like art too, then this is the perfect book. While the title hints at the mathematical and murderous themes it leaves out how much art and art history is also included. Spending time with Picasso and the beginning of Cubism, having drinks with Toulouse-Lautrec. It's an intellectual read, continuously interesting.

But once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I found myself sometimes laughing out loud in the subway, confusing some fellow riders. Definitely a good read.

The paperback isn't due out for several months, which may be just fine, actually, since it's tough to read on my commute during the New England winter months, considering it gets dark at, oh, 3PM!
